Sunday Lesson for May 3, Is, "The --Danlel 1:1-20. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Tately I have Deen discussing with many persons, mostly 'news- paper editors, from coast to coast, the reasons for the clear increase of serious-mindedness on the part of " the men of the United States and Canada. All agree upon the facts. Evidence is on every hand--such as the growtl¥ of service organizations, like Rotary and Kiwanis; the rise d increase of boy-helping soci- dpe" the, revived popularity of ult' Bible Classes; the phenome- nal current interest in books, maga- gine essays and newspaper articles on religious topics. Each man with: whom one talks bas his own contribution to make to this body of evidence. All agree that the thinking men of their com- munities are becoming increasingly concerned over certain tendencies of the times, in fal, political and economic life. Society has become a restive steed, threateming to run away: and mature men feel a re- sponsibility for the reins. Even in most primitive society, the grown men have shown this sense of re- #sponsibility for the general condi: / tion of things. It is a universal mark of manhood, Sobered by the vogue of lawless- ness and the breaking down of old restraints; by the world-wide spread of Russian. ideas: by the speed and irresponsibility of the younger gen- eration; by the disintegration of old-fashioned home life; and by a hundred other tendencies of our .day, all sorts of men are being awakened to new concern and to new activity. They are suddenly aware that men's backs should bear men's burdens: they 'must assume to the »full the old, old burden of preserv- ing the stability and integrity of organised human Iife. . YEach For All And All For Each," Cynics, selfists, and shallow so- cial "liberals," "maturally ' do not agree with this. They argue that every man should do as he pleases, Higaidioas of other persons. 'Per sonal liberty" is thelr specious cry ) --as it there ever really had been such a thing, to the extent they de- mand! From the days of the cave- 'dwellers, the individual's liberty has been limited and measured by the welfare of the group." All this ab- talk current among the half- Robinson Crusoe life. A sentiment as old as the race found expression in the slogan of Dumas' "Three Musketeers""--*"' Each for all, and all for each." The Bible puts the same truth in many forms, as "No man liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself"; "We are all members one of another." There is nothing new or narrow about that. It is as old as man him- self. It is a clear principle, indispen- sable to all organized life. In face of it, whatever is bad for the commun- ity has to pass away; just as the old days of "personal liberty," and murder and .uncloaked crime and shame in the mining camp of the West, had to give way to a regime of law and common right and public morality. In this principle lies the whole philosophy of the prohibition movement. The majority sentiment of the people come to the conclusion that booze is bad for the body politic. Therefore, the tastes, and, also the freedom, of individuals, in this matter have had to be subordin- ated to what is deemed the common good. -- Sunday Schools and Public Morals. Beyond a doubt, the regular recur- rence, throughout the years, of a Quarterly Temperance Lesson ir the Sunday Schools, of which this is one, has been a powerful force in educa- ting the people up to the point of prohibition. The highbrows who would displace the Uniform Sunday School Lesson delight to point with scorn to the temperance lessons in the International series as evidence of the unpedagogical character of this system which has bound the churches together on a Bible basis for more than fifty years. Idle the- ories mean more to these faddists than any of the realities of life. But Sunday School teachers and superintendents and pastors, thank God, care more for boys and girls and for human betterment, than they do for the vagaries and fash- ions of wind-filled "psychologists." What if this Lesson from Daniel is not a chronical sequence in our current nine months' course in the study of the Early Church? Paul and Peter and Stephen found the| sent purposes. And the greatest of the Bible today, in any parts, is to save the boys men and women, of our If the essential virtues oe temperance, truth and service not be undergirt by the 235 fori | i the apparently simple task of covering up seeds is really rather troublesome. A simple device, which will do this quickly and thoroughly, is shown in the accom- panying illustration. All that is necessary 18 to set the device over the seeds and pull it backward. It consists of two wings of galvanised iron or heavy tin, about 3 in. wide at one end and 8 in. at the other, and 12 in. long. These are fastened to- gether with an iron band, 6 in. long, bolted to the wings, as shown, about 3 in. from the narrow end. The parts are held together with ¥ge-in. stove bolts. The whole frame, which holds the blades, can be made of one long piece of flat iron, heated and bent to the shape shown. An ordinary broomstick can be used as a handle. ss Filing without Scratching When filing, small particles of metal adhering to the file cause scratches on the work. This trouble can be prevented by chalking the file after cleaning it. Pow- dered chalk may be used and rubbed on oth the Sgein or 3 17gs Disco of ump chalk rubbed over the file a > prohibition laws are but secondary to this principle; they are only aids to the control of undiseiplined appe- tites. They seek to help men to be as restrained as they should be of their own volition. And, unless the Daniel purpose to subordinate body to spirit, tastes to principles, ean 'be implanted in the hearts of people, no laws can ever entirely nulify the évils of intem- perance. As radical as Daniel's proposition for abstemiousness amidst the ener- vated palace life of old Persia is the new idea which has grown up in our western world, that a whole community and nation may become sober; and that the level of law may be that of life lived on the self-deny- ing basis of abstinence for the sake of others. True, the Old World can scarcely comprehend the reason for this au- daclous effort to . make a whole people sober. (Incidentally, it is sig- nificant that the great .majority of the violators of the prohibition laws are aliens. In Pueblo, recently, a grand jury reported that ninety per cent. of the convicted bootleggers were not citizens, and recommended their deportation. With stern hon- esty, however, the same grand jury also reported that most of the cus- tomers and supporters of these alien criminals were native born.) We must look for the roots of the New World temperance a movement in the sturdy morality of godly men and women who brought a Christian idealism to these shores as their chief possession. -- Squirming Under the Facts. Easiest and commonest of all the generalizations with which some ob- servers, who are not willing to ac- cept the Christian way out of our difficulties, seek to propose a rem- edy is that education will end law- lessness and intemperance and un- chasity. Every open-eyed man or woman knows that this siinply is not so. Thera is more flagrant violation of the prohibition laws at college re- unions than at, prize fights. The most obscene publications that cor- rupt public decency today are the college "humorous" papers. "The younger generation" does its worst, to civil laws, canons of taste and times, Nothing less than blind fetich-worship is this cult of cure- all-by-education. No, no; the religious principles that put backbone into Daniel, and into the men and women of past asy rinsin, late the without a break. KINGSTON Baker, P. H. Bennett, G. H. Caverly, S. A.
